GOLDEN CITY — A 34-year-old man was charged Friday with abducting, sexually assaulting and killing a 12-year-old girl whose body was found earlier in the week in southwest Missouri.

Bobby D. Bourne Jr., of Lockwood, was being held on $2 million bond on charges of child kidnapping, forcible and statutory rape and first-degree murder, according to court records. He was scheduled to be arraigned Monday.

Adriaunna Horton was reported missing Monday shortly after she was last seen getting into a vehicle in Golden City, where she lived with her father. Bourne was arrested about two hours later in Golden City.

Law enforcement officers and volunteers conducted a massive search for the girl and her body was found Wednesday on private land in a rural area of Dade County.
